The Formula Renault Northern European Cup—previously known as Formula Renault 2.0 NEC—was a Formula Renault 2.0 racing series that initially concentrated on Northern European countries such as Germany, Netherlands, and Belgium, before broadening its reach throughout Europe. Established in 2006, the championship resulted from the merger of the earlier Formula Renault 2.0 Germany (which began in 1991) and Formula Renault 2.0 Netherlands (which started in 2003). Although there were plans to rename the series as FormulaNEC, these were discontinued when the championship ceased operations prior to 2019 due to a drop in driver participation.

Managed by promoter MdH Consultants AG, the series launched a Winter Cup in 2007. This off-season competition took place at Hockenheim and Oschersleben, with the victor receiving complimentary entry into the subsequent NEC season.

The competitors utilized Tatuus chassis equipped with 2.0 L Renault Clio engines, aligning with other Formula Renault 2.0 championships, and raced on Michelin tyres.

Points were distributed as follows: 30 points awarded for first position, 24 for second, 20 for third, then decreasing incrementally from 17 down to 1 point for twentieth place. Only drivers classified as finishers were eligible to score points.

In 2010, an additional classification called the Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup FR2000 was introduced.
